Sure -- the Lord didn't put a roadsign labeling it, and the writer may be wrong, but for me, it was interesting, exciting, and correct.
Grandpa , it's OK... with an open heart for you to believe
that the Lord first put the idea of -->not killing , stealing and the other seeds of first human sentience mankind on a mountain with Moses ....
(jewish archaeologists still haven't found the mountain
and pretty much have given up)
... don't forget that Moses ordered the deaths of over
20,000 of his fellow tribesman, after coming down off
whichever mountain it was he was on .
He also OK'ed the raping of women as well , which is
unfathomable to my mind.
Sad that he wasn't better equipped to convert those poor
hapless others with out having to order the deaths of so
many , after just talking with the Lord and recieving the
commandments not to kill ? There had to have been a better
way .
Kind of a bitter sweet episode , and that is the kind of disparity
that made me question how much I wanted to have to do with
this kind of testement and old prophesy . Also the idea of
eternal damnation , that Jesus the Rabbai was too overfond of
will be replaced in the next few generations of man, for
the real and more complete truth at last .
Love the story you feel most comfortable with . But the tale
goes farther back than this . It's just too hard to concieve an
all loving God so prone to condemning souls to everlasting hell with such regularity .
Something to keep priests in jobs and to scare little children with , and old prophets that haven't been eating regularly prone to rant on about .
But so very off base. |
